What used to be the Eastern Industrial Area of Overseas Chinese Town in Shenzhen was renovated into the OCT Contemporary Art Terminal (OCAT) and Loft Area. It's a perfect platform for artists and designers to exhibit their talent. It's also a popular spot for tourists looking to dive into the artistic atmosphere of Shenzhen.

About Shenzhen

Shenzhen is located at the southern tip of the Chinese mainland on the eastern bank of the mouth of the Pearl River and neighbors Hong Kong.

The brainchild of Deng Xiaoping, the country's first special economic zone was established here by the Chinese Government in 1980. It has been a touchstone for China's reform and opening-up policy since then.
